Tanghua old story

A few petals blown by the east wind fluttered down, and finally lay quietly in Qi Gui's palm.

"Your Highness, this year's Qionghua wine is ready." The official in charge of Yongfeng Palace said.

"Understood," Qi Gui said, throwing down a few petals in his hand, "Send them all to the palace."

Year after year, Yongfeng Prince's Mansion paid more and more fine wines, and the more they were brewed, the more delicious they were, but fewer and fewer people tasted them every year.

"Your Highness, will this year's moon feast still be held?" the official in charge asked again.

"Of course, why not?"

"Yes." The official in charge responded and retreated with a low eyebrow.

It is said that Wang Qigui of Yongfeng likes to have fun the most, and this is true, nothing can interrupt Qi Gui's elegant mood of feasting and having fun.

"Your Highness, don't you feel anything at all?" Qi Gui's favorite little concubine was sitting in his arms at the Moon Appreciation Banquet and said coquettishly.

"How do you feel?" Qi Gui lifted the concubine's chin with his hand, "Well, little beauty?"

"Your Highness doesn't seem to care about the separation of flesh and blood." The beauty smiled and pushed Qi Gui's hand away.

"It doesn't matter, I will see you again in the future." Qi Gui looked at the beauty in his arms with a smile, "Now, just enjoy yourself while you can."

Carpe diem in time is the creed that Qi Gui has always adhered to. Since childhood, Qi Gui has been the one who is the most proficient in eating, drinking and having fun among his brothers and sisters.

"Your Highness is really hard-hearted." The little concubine hooked Qi Gui's neck and leaned on his ear and asked, "If one day I also leave, will Your Highness be so indifferent?"

"Let's talk about it when the time comes." Qi Gui smiled, and then said something in a low voice, which made the beauty blush and coquettish.

After the luxurious banquet was over, Qi Gui looked at the moon in the sky, but felt an indescribable sense of melancholy.

"Now the moon is only seen by me."

Qi Gui is the fourth son of Emperor Zhaoqi. He is more than a year younger than the eldest prince and the second prince, only half a year younger than the third prince, but eight years older than the fifth prince.

Qi Gui once had a great curiosity about this strange phenomenon, and thought hard about what caused the age gap between himself and the fifth prince, and why after he was born, his father's harem failed to give birth to a son and a half daughter , It was not until the birth of the fifth prince and other children eight years later that the deadlock was broken.

It is precisely because of the age gap that Qi Gui rarely interacts with his younger brothers and sisters, but grew up studying with his three younger brothers and has a close relationship.

From Qi Tong to Qi Gui, the four sons of Emperor Zhaoqi are different and have their own characteristics. The first prince Qi Tong is calm and serious, the second prince Qi Tang is generous and kind, the third prince Qi Rong is shrewd and arrogant, and the fourth prince Qi Gui is good at eating and drinking. Play the number one or two.

Qi Gui has no objection to the evaluation that he is one of the best in eating, drinking and having fun, but he has other opinions on the evaluation of his three brothers.

In Qi Gui's eyes, the elder brother Qi Tong is forbearing to be lonely, and his heart is full of yearning for the freedom of the world.Because he knew that his elder brother, as the eldest son, had been given high hopes since he was a child, and he had to be cautious in every word and deed, carrying a heavy burden and moving forward, especially after he was established as the prince.The throne is not what the eldest brother wants, but freedom and freedom is the elusive pursuit of the eldest brother.

The second elder brother Qi Tang is benevolent and generous in the eyes of everyone, but in the eyes of Qi Gui, he is innocent and naive, even a little silly.The second elder brother Qitang's mother, Concubine Lan, is kind and gentle, and his father, Emperor Zhaoqi, loves him very much. Therefore, Qitang grew up in a honeypot from a young age, and over time he developed a personality like the sun. They are all caring and caring, and they are sincere to everyone.

The third brother Qi Rong is the younger brother of the eldest brother Qi Tong, the one with the most outstanding appearance among the four Qi Gui brothers. Since childhood, Qi Gui has found that Qi Rong is especially doted on by the court ladies.The court ministers only think that the third prince Qi Rong is shrewd, but Qi Gui finds that the third elder brother is not only shrewd, but also hides outstanding ambitions under his outstanding appearance, and is full of obsession with the throne.

It's just a coincidence that the two princes involved in the prince dispute have no interest in the throne, while the third prince, an outsider, is ambitious, and the only one who really sees through all this is the fourth prince who doesn't learn a lot and is addicted to having fun.

The moonlight is like flowing water, which remains unchanged for a long time, and only the people under the moon become.Today, the moon appreciation banquet in Yongfeng Palace is extravagant and luxurious, but the moon appreciation banquet in Shaoshi Palace is not like this, what is it...

Qi Gui couldn't help smiling when he recalled the past.

Qi Gui’s moon feast when he was young was nothing more than getting together with his three older brothers on the [-]th day of each month, sometimes reciting poems against each other, sometimes stealing some melons, fruits and wine for supper, and sometimes secretly gathering together to read Qi Gui’s best-selling novels Book.

As a child who grew up in the deep palace, the folk tales are infinitely charming.Qi Tang doesn't like small story books very much, and the habit of searching for small story books is formed in this way. Qi Rong said something that he doesn't bother to read such vulgar books, but his body is very honest. Whenever Qi Gui brings a new He must be the first to stretch his neck over. Although Qi Tong is serious and steady, he also likes these short story books.

How could just reading a short story book be enjoyable, Qi Gui thought about it and decided to make a small story book by himself.On a night of full moon in the dead of night, the four princes got together and launched a secret operation.The second elder brother, Qi Tang, is the most favored, and he is the one who asks for the paper, pens and paints for making short story books. The eldest brother, Qi Tong, is good at calligraphy, and is in charge of writing. , I was responsible for coming up with a story that shook the world and wept ghosts and gods.

So for a long time, Qi Gui could be seen getting together with his three brothers.

"Third brother, no, it's not like this here," Qi Gui said, "Draw this mountain over there."

"Hmph," Qi Rong said displeased, "I won't draw anymore, you can draw."

"How can I have good-looking paintings like my third brother?" Qi Gui hastily appeased Qi Rong, who has a small temper. "Actually, third brother's paintings are also very beautiful."

"Brother, don't write so bluntly," Qi Gui pointed to Qi Rong and then turned around to point to Qi Tong, "Be a little more ambiguous, just like that..."

Qi Gui winked at the serious Qi Tong, Qi Tong pondered for a while, seemed to understand what Qi Gui meant, and brought up his pen again.

Qi Tang is not only responsible for small tasks such as serving tea and pouring water, but also responsible for helping Qi Gui perfect the plot.

After countless nights of hard work, the four princes finally finished their first novel of their own. Just when they were planning to start the second book, the elder brother Qi Tong was made the crown prince and moved to the East Palace. It was inconvenient to participate in the novel. The huge project of book creation, so the small story book project had no choice but to end, Qi Gui was saddened by this for a long time.

Later, shortly before Qi Gui and Qi Tang and Qi Rong were about to be dispatched to their respective fiefdoms, the four princes met for the last time under the [-]th full moon.

Maybe it was because of the separation, or maybe it was because of the status difference between Feng Wang and the prince, that meeting seemed a bit depressing, and in the end, Qi Tong said to take care of each other, and then they broke up.No one expected that it would be the last meeting of the four of them under the moon.

Later, when the news of his elder brother Qi Tong's death reached Qi Gui's ears, Qi Gui actually felt a little happy for his elder brother, because he knew that his elder brother had completely got rid of all kinds of trivial matters this time, and was running towards the freedom he had longed for all his life. .

Later, when the news of the third elder brother Qi Rong's rebellion came, Qi Gui was not at all shocked. He had known for a long time that the third elder brother's ambition would be unstoppable after all.When everyone was talking about the Emperor Qi Tang releasing Qi Rong who was treasonous, Qi Gui let out a long sigh. He knew that the innocent and kind second brother would forgive the third brother, and he also expected that the shrewd third brother would definitely choose to commit suicide. road.

Later, at the Qi State Grand Sacrifice, the second elder brother smiled wryly at himself like a little sun, and Qi Gui also thought of it. Since his father decided to pass the throne to Qi Tang, Qi Gui knew that from now on, the second elder brother would never be as indifferent as usual. No more worries.

after that……

"I'm the only one left now," Qi Gui looked at Yuanyue with a smile, "The eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother are all together again..."

"In a few days, we will be able to draw the second short story book together..."
